Yesterday I saw what I think may be daffodils starting to form buds. I can see buds starting on trees, too.
Now if we'd just get some shirtsleeve weather I'd be good....
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Boy Saves Local Library
Good stuff!
Hookers and blow, y'all!
Seems an appropriate greeting for a Friday.
Just saw the recommendation of Elizabeth Taylor movies. I have to add Suddenly Last Summer. A film version of a Tennessee Williams play starring Taylor, Katharine Hepburn, and Montgomery Clift. So, movie magic even if the story is very, very badly dated. (On the other hand, it's really much more Hepburn's movie than Taylor's or Clift's.)
Boy Saves Local Library [link]
It's a bad link now, I want to see the boy saving the library!
I got to see it!
The kid did a lovely thing...and I'm bemused by how easy it seemed to be. If only every protest/request could go that way!
Basically, he made a sign, got a petition of 100 signatures and his Great Granddad attended a council meeting. et voile! The library stays open...for a year, until a newer facility opens.
Still. Good on him for speaking up.
I've heard two pieces of very troubling news about two different friends in the last hour and I'm sitting here quietly freaking out, there's nothing I can do about either at the moment, and really, REALLY hoping this isn't one of those things coming in 3s situations!
Oh, man, this Cracked.com article is fantastic. [link] And under the snark, really thoughtful and serious about the misrepresentation of what it takes to actually do the kind of work the shows depict.
that Cracked.com article is fantastic
Which one? I missed something.
woops sorry. Edited to add the link. I got it from LJ, not here.
